It could come sooner, but it'll need to use the starter setup off the RM-Z450X...which is pretty heavy. They'll put on even more weight if they do that and I'm curious what battery they will use.
If they pull it off for 2019, the whole field will have them as Kawasaki will come with it as well.
I'll be honest, I'd rather see Suzuki skip E-start in '19 if it means we got an all-new, lighter engine that was designed for E-Start in 2020.

Please tell me the 19 KX450 will have a spring fork! I could give 2 you know what's about the E start as my 16 starts super easy as it is and I'm not racing for a championship ever in my life so who needs it?!
Different tracks...different riders...the same general consensus thus far between the two protocols Honda and the Austrian/Swedish machines near the front. Check.
Also, we don't know if he told them before that he intended to do so, and told them to adamantly disagree if they felt he was trying to put words in their mouths?
Pit Row
I don't think it's a "let's rag on the Yamaha," it's just a trait flaw they all seem cursed with.
So after he had that podcast he said he would use those same terms when explaining each bike so everything is the same across the board.
Didn't sound like he was directing the interview, more trying to use the correct terminology to explain the bike and what it was or was not doing.
On the other hand, Bowers knew exactly what he likes and expects in a bike and did a good job comparing and contrasting the various brands with respect to those preferences. However, that doesn't necessarily make him right (unless you like the same characteristic he does).
My point is, to make these shootouts meaningful you not only need a diverse group of self aware testers with excellent communication skills but ALSO an audience with equal self awareness.
Post a reply to: After Keefer's 1st 450 shootout day they seem to think the RMZ rear shock is ok per his podcast.
